Hi!

I am a roboticist with a PhD from the Department of Computer Science at Cornell University. I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Kavraki Lab at Rice University. I work with Professor Lydia Kavraki on combining symbolic and geometric planning. Specifically, I’m interested in improving the efficiency, robustness, and utility of robot task and motion planning (TMP), with a particular focus on making TMP under uncertainty practically useful.

Though I primarily research robot planning, I’m also interested in ML and formal methods for robotics, robotics research broadly, and programming languages.

Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, hiking, biking, playing/composing music, and writing open-source software (often in the form of plugins for Neovim).

You can contact me through the information listed on my website.

Is NGT::Index::search thread-safe?

First off, thank you for NGT! It's quite impressive. I'm trying to parallelize a large number of queries with OpenMP. My parallelized loop calls se…
